[AlbieF15]

Jointops,

Nice to see you again on the boards. Always nice to hear your perspective...

Good luck to all...

Trying to get a handle on what total compensation for a notional second year FO might be who flies an average line. The 1 1/2 pay rate above 70 or 75 hours makes it a bit harder than extrapolating the hourly rate out. Do the trips tend to be 3 or 4 days? What is the reserve callout times? Any other info appreciated.
Sorry if these are basic questions. Just started to give JB serious thought and this is part of the initial information gathering phase.
6000TT, 4000Turb, 1200 TPIC. All civ. Don't know anyone at JB. Those numbers realistic or do I have a ways to go?
At work, no accesss to a spell checker for you pedantic types.

Hey Albie,

I never left. However, unless I can add additional, positive input to a thread, I don't engage. Too much flak flying around on these forums. Many more people are more eloquent and certainly more intelligent than I.

But thanks for thinking of me. I always keep track of your posts.

Happy landings.

OK, what interview prep has everyone been using? Sounds like there is a high current success rate.

I had some gouge from Air Inc. They were all "Tell me about a time" type questions from previous interviews. When I got to NY, I found out that Mr. Melonas had changed all the questions because the previous interviewers' answers seemed rehursed. But it was a good practice.

 

[Eaglepuke]

Just tell them about that time over Macho Grande. It will get you hired for sure.

 

[Smoking Man]

They will never get over Macho Grande.

For those of you that interviewed 20th/21st of September and moved to phase 2, has any of your references been contacted yet? any other signs of progress? any news?, I'm anxiously waiting......

 

[Eaglepuke]

Nope. Not yet. The email mentioned that we would get infomation about the aircraft decision this week. Anyone got that?

 

[ShallowMinded]

Have not heard if any references have been called and still waiting for the packet about aircraft picks. Does anyone know at what point during the background check JB will call your current employer?

 

[ShallowMinded]

Just received the info packet via e-mail a few minutes ago.

 

[kaki]

Just got it also....

Yep, furloughed AA from Oct 2001, nice to be back in the 121 world again after 4 years.

Just finished reading some threads on JetBlue on C&R today for the first time in forever. Now that you are hired at B6, don't expect to welcomed with open arms there. You have now become public enemy number one and you are now a member of one of the most "arrogant" pilot groups (JetBlue, that is)
Seems to be a fair amount of disdain for JetBlue on that website.

Let's see, I am now considered public enemy number one at AA. I wonder why? They've done so much for me:
1. 9 days notice of furlough vs. 30 days required by contract
2. No furlough pay-oh well, I was only there 3 months, I wasn't expecting much.
3. NO jumpseat privileges
4. NO travel privileges
5. Lots of "I got mine, let them get theirs" attitudes on their website.

Honestly, I enjoyed my time at AA, short as it was, but, I have to provide for my family, and if I am going to be held in contempt, so be it. I wan't expecting to be recalled back there anytime soon.

Is C&R an AA website/forum or something?

 

[Steve Di.]

It is an APA (Union) Board

The C & R is their union's (APA) message board, i.e., and electronic wailing wall!!

This is cool not only are we number one with customers, but another pilot group thinks we are as cool as John Dillinger. Awsome.

Cry and rant

Mannyaplus11, welcome! As I am sure you will welcome your AA counterparts to your newly named arrogant js! C&R stands for "cry and rant" I guess..? I hear B6 is also the reason for global warming.

C'mon, get with the program. Sure it sucks being furloughed with a family. But you are supposed to find a job that is suitable to the AA guys that aren't furloughed. You know, for the good of the profession. SUCK IT UP! (sarcasm)

 

[mannyaplus11]

Now THAT is funny!!!! I guess all furloughed guys should find work that is suitable to the AA lineholders.
